FRA is approximately ______ % of California.

• A. 42
• B. 49
• C. 52
• D. 47

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is how wildfire suppression responsibilities are divided across California. California is split into two areas: Federal Responsibility Area (FRA), where the federal government handles suppression, and State Responsibility Area (SRA), where the state handles it. The FRA portion is about 47% of California, reflecting the large amount of federal lands such as National Forests and other public lands.

So, the approximate value for FRA is 47% because nearly half of the state’s land is federally managed. The other choices are nearby estimates but don’t align with the standard distribution used in training materials, which round to about 47%.
